Your options to order are to either go through one of our dealers that offers international shipping to Australia or to use a freight forwarder who can provide us with a US ship-to address.

I am looking for a skid plate to cover my trans oil filter on 2015 3500 chevy
Hey Jim, while our skid plate offers extra protection, unfortunately it doesn’t protect all the way back to the trans oil filter.
I recently ordered the skid plate for my 2018 Silverado 2500HD. The only issue is that it does not have a support for the radiator hose like the factory plastic plate has. I am concerned this might cause a problem later on. Have you any solutions?
Hey Scott, I checked with our tech support team on this topic for clarification. The “support” you are referring to isn’t used to support the radiator hose itself, it is designed to add structural integrity for the flimsy plastic splash guard installed from the factory. The support is not needed with our HD replacement skid plates and won’t cause any issues down the road.
Is there a skid plate that goes further down the drive line and protects the Allison transmission?
That isn’t something we offer and I haven’t heard of any for the HD trucks on the market. It would likely something you would need to have a fabricator build
I have this on my 2017 HD Silverado but am trading for a 2021. Have any options to fit or Are there changes to the plastic splash guard with the body change.
Hey Andrew, the front skids are different between the 11-19 and 20+ HD trucks. You may be able to modify it to work, but it won’t be a direct replacement. We plan to offer a skid specific to the 2020+ HD models in the future
I need 4 bolts for the diff cover. Where can I get these and what size, if you know?
Hey Stephen, unfortunately I don’t have specs handy on the OE diff cover hardware. As for all the hardware for our skid plate system you can find that at the beginning of the instruction sheet.
What about the 01-10 2500hd I can’t seem to find a metal skid plate for stock or leveled trucks.
We don’t offer this OE replacement style skid plate for the 01-10 HDs, but we do have skids plates included in our 4.5″ and 7′ lift kits
